Condition. it could hit anybody whether you re above or below the poverty line. it isn t a poverty program. it s an insurance program against this kind of cost. don t you think it s better for the democrats to talk about it in human terms like this wonderful woman just did than to let the republicans keep calling it european socialism and all that stuff? anecdotal politics can only take you so far. do you think it is european socialism? is there something imported from somewhere else? universal health care coverage is something that happens in europe. it happened in massachusetts, come on. universal health care beautifully noted tonight it s 90 years promised because it was teddy roosevelt who started promising. was he european? the heritage foundation some communist front. i think mitt romney isn t making the european argument. you plate over and over again. obama no matter what he does good for this community he s

You know, in the sense that we re still barack and michelle. i think that s a very powerful message and i thought howard fineman was dead on point, too. the theme in all of the speeches was to the base of the democratic party, don t forget you ve got to work. we ve got to work this. because they do suffer enthusiasm gap. republicans are fired up and ready to go this fall and this speech is to kickstart that. michael steele, back to you, rachel. in thinking about the power of the first lady s speech, journalistic observers tonight, a couple things i want to point out, in terms of the nonpartisan nature of the speech. talking about her family and the president s family, they didn t begrudge anyone s success or care that anyone had much more than they did. in fact, admired it, which is a rebut tell to the republican saying that you re just resentful of mitt romney s success. and also she said, for barack obama there is no such thing as us or them. he doesn t care if you re a republica
Excited because i think it will mean that we are connecting to average folks and feel their pain and their anguish and, most of all, their worry about the future and can answer those worries much better than the other side. there s no question that she connected in the hall. i mean, it was an amazing experience because people were so fired up, passionately fired up. people had tears in their eyes. do you think that it s communicated out to the rest of america? you know, some speeches are good in the hall and not good elsewhere but this was so powerful. my experience tells me it just pierced right through. she had those digs when she talked about when you make it you don t slam the door on people trying to make it. that had direct implications but people got what it did and i ll tell you something else, some people say, well, maybe she s angry. maybe she s upset.
She had the crowd right in the palm of her hand. and i think that we may have forgotten how good michelle obama is. tonight we were reintroduced to a star. someone who has a real impact. the impact that she has had is on her family. and she is still the same first lady that she was. she talked about barack. she has it all in perspective. a lot of soul searching tonight by the democrats. explaining to the country, who we are, what we re about. what we believe in. and we re not going to stop. that s what i ve taken from that. i mean, when she said that being president doesn t change who you are, it reveals who you are, i don t know if there was a better line in the speech. and she demonstrated don t forget, this is the couple that brought her mother to live in the white house. i mean, they are telling a narrative that they live, the mother you saw in the video, lives with them in the white house, takes care of the children. so it s not something that s just made for video.
